Boys In The Streets

The boys smiled strongly in front of my camera

Shot in the city of Kolkata, India.

I thought the camera had a power to attract people in this country. These boys were also attracted by my camera. They stopped playing and come to me in hurry. They stood together in front of me and started to smile. They seemed to be happy.

Because they were young, they didn't wear any beards. Yet I felt sure they wore when they grew up. Every adult wore a beard or a mustache as if it was an accomplishment for men.
